Dear FUMC Faith Family,
Thank you to all who joined us last Sunday to welcome our new Senior Pastor Dr. Steven Bell! Joy and excitement filled the Church as we rang in a New Year! We are eagerly anticipating the new ways in which God will mold and teach our congregation under Dr. Bell’s leadership.
Our Executive Team has continued to prayerfully discern our on-campus ministries and protocols. As more information and advice becomes available, we will gradually modify ministry activity and events.
Beginning this Sunday, January 10th, these are a couple of the changes you can expect:
-
Hymnals and
Bibles will return to the pews in the Sanctuary. Bulletins will be available
without the hymn insert. You can also print a bulletin from home.
- We will offer a brief communion service in Couch Chapel following the conclusion of the 11:00am worship service. We will use the pre-packaged, all-in-one elements, which will be familiar to those who attended the Christmas Eve service.
As a reminder, please read through the following announcements:
-
Offering baskets
are located at each door in the Sanctuary and in Emmett Hook Center; however,
we also invite you to mail your offering to the Church or give online.
-
Many of our Adult
Sunday School Classes are meeting in person from 9:45-10:45am. If you have

Peace be with you,
The FUMC Executive Team
